Your privacy is critically important to us. At Wi-Fi-Go ("we", "us", "our"), we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
- We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don't store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of one of our services.
Summary
Wi-Fi-Go is a local-first application. Almost everything happens on your device and is never transmitted anywhere. The only exception is the AI Advisor feature — which, when enabled and configured with your own API key, sends network diagnostic data to the AI provider you choose (e.g. Google Gemini). This is described in full below.
Data Collection and Usage
Local Processing
All diagnostic tests — speed tests, ping tests, signal strength readings, traceroutes, port scans, and LAN device discovery — run entirely on your device. Results are stored locally and are never transmitted to our servers.
WiFi Heatmapping
Floor plans, signal measurements, and heatmap data are stored locally on your device. This data is never uploaded to our servers or any third-party cloud service. Exports (PDF, PNG, SVG) are generated on-device and shared only at your explicit direction.
Location Services
To perform WiFi scans and identify network names (SSID), iOS/iPadOS requires Location Services permission. Wi-Fi-Go uses this permission solely to access network information required for its core functionality. We do not track, store, or transmit your precise location data to our servers or third parties.
Local Network Permission
Wi-Fi-Go requests permission to access devices on your local network. This is used exclusively for the Device Discovery feature to list devices connected to your WiFi. This information is processed locally and is never uploaded.
Camera and Photo Library
Camera access (for floor plan capture) and photo library access (for importing site photos) are used solely within the app for features you initiate. Photos are stored locally and are never uploaded by Wi-Fi-Go.
Analytics
We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage statistics to help us improve the app (e.g. crash reports, feature usage counts). This data does not identify you personally.
AI Advisor — Third-Party Data Sharing
The AI Advisor is off by default. It only activates when you enter your own API key in Settings → AI Advisor. No data is sent to any AI provider unless you have configured this feature.
Wi-Fi-Go includes an optional AI Advisor feature that provides expert network troubleshooting advice. When you use it, your most recent network diagnostic data and your typed question are sent to the AI provider you have selected.
What data is sent
Each AI Advisor request includes the following data from your most recent diagnostic scan:
| Data Point | Example |
|---|---|
| Download speed | 45.3 Mbps |
| Upload speed | 12.1 Mbps |
| Ping / latency | 18 ms |
| Jitter | 3 ms |
| Network name (SSID) | MyHomeNetwork |
| Signal strength (RSSI) | -62 dBm |
| WiFi frequency band | 5 GHz |
| WiFi channel | 36 |
| DNS server address | 8.8.8.8 |
| DNS resolution time | 22 ms |
| VPN active status | No |
| Connection type | WiFi |
| Technical analysis notes | (generated by diagnostics) |
| Your typed question | "Why is my download so slow?" |
Your API key is stored only on your device (in iOS secure local storage). It is sent with each request to authenticate with the provider. Wi-Fi-Go does not have access to your API key on our servers. No personal identity information (name, email, Apple ID, device identifier) is included in requests to AI providers.
Google Gemini (default provider)
Data destination: Google LLC, USA (generativelanguage.googleapis.com). Data is sent to Google's servers.
- Model: Gemini 2.5 Flash
- Local processing: No
- Governed by: Google Privacy Policy and Google Gemini API Terms
- API key: You supply your own from Google AI Studio
By using the Gemini provider, you are sharing the data listed above with Google under their terms of service. Wi-Fi-Go does not control how Google processes, stores, or uses data submitted via the Gemini API.
Apple Intelligence (on-device)
Fully on-device. No data is sent externally. No API key required.
- Requires: iOS 18.1 or later on supported iPhone or iPad hardware (for example A17 Pro or supported M-series iPad models)
- Local processing: Yes — all data stays on your device
The Apple Intelligence provider shares nothing with external services. Note: the full Apple Foundation Models integration is in development and will be completed in a future update.
OpenAI
Data destination: OpenAI, LLC, USA (api.openai.com). Data is sent to OpenAI's servers.
- Model: GPT-4o mini
- Local processing: No
- Governed by: OpenAI Privacy Policy
- API key: You supply your own from platform.openai.com
By using the OpenAI provider, you are sharing the data listed above with OpenAI under their terms of service. Wi-Fi-Go does not control how OpenAI processes, stores, or uses data submitted via the OpenAI API.
How to disable AI data sharing
- Do not enter an API key in Settings → AI Advisor — the feature will not send any data without one.
- Select Apple Intelligence as your provider to keep all processing on-device.
- Clear your stored API key at any time from Settings → AI Advisor → Clear API Key.
In-App Purchases and Subscriptions
Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Wi-Fi-Go does not collect or store your payment information. Purchase receipts and entitlement data are managed by Apple's StoreKit framework on your device.
Children's Privacy
Wi-Fi-Go is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Data Retention
Wi-Fi-Go stores all app data locally on your device. Deleting the app removes all locally stored data. We do not maintain copies of your data on our servers.
Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes within the app and by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
